Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government

The advancement of the project at Ballingeary, Macroom, County Cork to construct new social housing units through design, planning and construction is a matter in the first instance for Cork County Council.

I understand that the local authority is currently preparing designs and costings for this project and I look forward to their submission to my Department as soon as possible.
